Abstract

"We're filling up the world with technology and devices, but we've lost sight of an important question: What is this stuff for? What value does it add to our lives? So asks author John Thackara in his new book, In the Bubble: Designing in a Complex World." "In the Bubble is about a world based less on stuff and more on people. Thackara describes a transformation that is taking place now - not in a remote science-fiction future. We are regaining respect for what people can do that technology can't. In the Bubble describes services designed to help people carry out daily activities in new ways. Many of these services involve technology - ranging from body implants to wide-bodied jets. But objects and systems play a supporting role in a people-centered world. The design focus is on services, not things. And new principles - above all, lightness - inform the way these services are designed and used. At the heart of In the Bubble is a belief, informed by a wealth of real-world examples, that ethics and responsibility can inform design decisions without impeding social and technical innovation."--Jacket.

Abstract

Oorspronkelijk bestond de collectie van het Design museum uit overwegend achttiende-eeuwse stijlmeubels, maar gaandeweg groeide deze culturele instelling uit tot een wereldvermaard museum dat zich toelegt op twintigste-eeuws en hedendaags design. Blikvanger is hun bijzondere art-nouveaucollectie. Belangrijke Belgische kunstenaars (Henry van de Velde, Victor Horta en Paul Hankar), worden geflankeerd door buitenlandse ontwerpers zoals Josef Hoffmann en Otto Wagner. Ook ontwerpen van vertegenwoordigers van het modernisme (Le Corbusier en Gaston Eysselinck) en het postmodernisme (Alessandro Mendini, Aldo Rossi, Hans Mollein en Andrea Branzi) komen ruim aan bod. Het hedendaagse design van binnen- en buitenland wordt vertegenwoordigd door grote namen als Borek Sipek, Maarten Van Severen, Ron Arad, Philippe Starck en vele anderen. Deze publicatie bevat reproducties en notities van en over 175 topstukken uit de verzamelingen.

Abstract

Nouveau musée et centre d'art, le ADAM (Art & Design Atomium Museum) a pour ambition de devenir une référence muséale en matière d'expositions d'art et de design à Bruxelles. Installé sur le plateau du Heysel, à deux pas de l'Atomium, il dispose de près de 5.000m2 et a pour exposition permanente la collection du Plasticarium. Constituée depuis les années 1980, cette collection est un ensemble singulier et unique au monde qui regroupe plusieurs centaines d'objets en plastique, allant du plus usuel à l'œuvre d'art, en passant par l'objet de design. Si cette collection occupe la large place qu'elle mérite au sein du musée, d'autres espaces proposent des expositions temporaires dédiées à l'art et au design du XXe siècle et d'aujourd'hui. Le présent ouvrage reprend les créations des designers parmi les plus importants dans le domaine du plastique depuis les années 1950 jusqu'à nos jours. Un florilège de formes et de matières magnifiquement illustré par des reproductions en quadrichromie dont beaucoup en pleine page. Un livre référence, qui compte également quelques œuvres d'art ayant recours au plastique, publié en quatre langues (français, néerlandais, anglais, allemand). Textes de Anne Bony, Alexandra Midal et Richard Thommeret. Quadrilingue français, néerlandais, anglais, allemand.

Abstract

Custom wheel rims for Mercedes Benz, double-decker train cars for the Belgian railway system, pots and pans for Tupperware and ice coolers for Coca-Cola are but a few of the 1500 sleekly designed products that the Belgian firm Enthoven Associates has created for its impressive roster of international clients over the past 30 years. This well-edited compendium illustrates how the role of product design has evolved within the firm over the past three decades, moving from the vision of an individual designer, Axel Enthoven, to the combined expertise of a team that has expanded to include Alain Denis and Jean-Pierre Geelen. Through images, interviews and essays, it traces the development of the firm's designs, from early aesthetic objects to current projects that combine design with technology, ethics and marketing concepts.
